Tacitus
The Histories
Translated by W. Hamilton Fyfe, 1912
What this is
The year of the four emperors and what followed it, by a senator who lived through the terror under Domitian and wrote afterwards. He says he will write without anger or partiality, and then does not quite manage it, which is part of why he is worth reading.
How it is set
One leaf per book, with the sections numbered inside it as Long numbers them. A section of Marcus is often three lines, and a page holding three lines is not a page.
What is not here
Notes. These books have the text and nothing else at present — no map, no lives, no commentary. The Gospel of St Luke shows what an annotated book looks like on this shelf, and these will follow it. An empty heading is better than invented filler.
